The Kindness of Promptly Responding

"Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom."
~ Theodore Isaac Rubin

My son has an amazing teacher at his new school.  She is an incredibly patient and surprisingly wise young woman.  She has helped my son with the transition to a new school and I have seen her manage her classroom expertly -- so much so that I once thought the children were not in the classroom because they were so well behaved.  With this teacher's guidance, my son has soared.  He has progressed beautifully and is even enjoying a subject that he previously did not like.  Bottom line:  She is a terrific teacher.  And as any parent who has dealt with anything less knows, that is truly a blessing.

This teacher is also very kind to the parents, and treats us with respect and compassion.  One of the things that impresses me about her is her responsiveness.  Whenever I e-mail her, she replies very quickly, which is really helpful.  Whether it is a classroom issue or a scheduling question, her timely responses make my life easier.  And that is another blessing for a sometimes crazed working mom!
